Q
Bring common thread with Zack and Ari
Thank you zack for doing the twisties by rolling hills. Awesome review!
I know you are aiming only at the US but can you please give weight on kgs as well
Throttle response is decent.. what sort of political review is this?
Dude we need a 'weekend rider' series! I want to see your daily rider style reviews applied to the weekend warriors! Get some of these bikes out on the fun roads and do a separate weekend warrior ranking. So many owners like me don't or can't commute on a motorcycle and only ride for fun and want to know which bikes are the best, fun/comfort/handling/performance bikes!
I've been asking for this since Ari and Zack came back to UA-cam. Get Ari/Zack to rip the twistys or track
That’s a cool idea!!
Aren't basically all bike reviews geared towards weekend warriors already? I need my bike to get me around first and be fun second so I am glad that this series exists as an exception from the weekend warrior norm.
Yeah that would be awesome.
This is the comment we needed but didn't know we needed.
This is my favorite Revzilla production. This guy is good at what he does. Positive, knowledgeable and entertaining.
Check out the common tread and shop manual videos. It's Ari and Zack and they do good stuff. They were at motorcyclist and did videos for them and then motor trend for a bit. You can still see the old stuff on UA-cam too.
He’s one of the reasons I bought a 2006 Ktm 950 Supermoto 👌🏾
I was so glad when I heard Zack joined the Revzilla team
If you've watched all the Revzilla ones, check out MC commute on motorcyclist magazine's youtube, Zack and Ari used to work there prior to this
that's because they sell gear not bikes, so they can actually give good criticisms. we'll see how long it lasts.
Zack's daily rider reviews are the best road tests in YT Land.
Those are the most Italian saddlebags I've ever seen.
You mean beautiful but small and useless?
underrated comment
@@Dranreb865 maybe lopsided and hideous. doesn't scream Italian to me, except for the configuration. definitely not beautiful
I enjoy seeing Zack tie himself in knots when trying to find the right spot for the more enjoyable, if somewhat less practical, bikes on the leaderboard. The internal struggle between objectivity on the one hand and the sheer fun on the other is very, very real. 😂
I bought a 22 Tuono V4 in white after watching this video. The riding experience on this bike with that motor is one of a kind. The acceleration, the sound..OMG the sound is other worldly. Thanks Zack for inspiring me.
I wonder about long rides - how do knees feel after ~3hours? I'm 187cm tall and still cannot decide between s1000xr and tuono v4 base modell.
How is it around town and low speeds?
@@ferie29 I'm 183cm. Knees feel good. Riding position is much milder than other super bikes. Is it as comfortable as a cruiser? No. That being said I bought one at age 54.
@@dirtlord358 i've finally bought one. Great bike, absolutely happy with it
The saddle bag on the left should be mounted higher so it matches the smaller bag on the right, even if they don’t drop down the same amount. This just looks bad.
It looks fine who cares. Pretty sure people are gonna be like wow look at that guy doing wheelie with saddlebags!
@@rider6.0 who is paying $16k for a bike that only looks "fine"?
Also, it doesn't look fine, it looks really bad...
@@alexm9479 bags come off quick. Look fixed
@@alexm9479 im not an Italian guy. My moneys spent on kawasaki. Lol
My best guess for the bag positioning is that they put the bigger (heavier) bag down low to help even out the centrer of gravity if you load up the bags. Just my guess.
Hearing Zack come to his decision on where to place the bike on the board is incredible funny and entertaining. Keep up the great work!
I would take the Tuono as a daily ride in front of all because it is practical enough and way funnier to drive. The Tuono is simply a masterpiece.
First seeing the “bags”, I loved them! Until he walked to the back and exposed that monstrosity on the other side. Why.. my self diagnosed OCD would make me burn the entire bike.
Stuff like that usually doesn't bother me, but this...this is a crime against humanity!
100% agreed lol
If you take the weight of the large bag on one side, and the combined weight of the small bag and the bloody HUGE exhaust on the other it probably centres the mass correctly to balance the motorcycle.
@@Ric0chetAus So what about the model without bags 🧐
@@freebehindbars8654 What do you mean? I'm talking about why the bags arent symmetrical height. The model without bags would just have the exhaust wich isn't adding any weight above the centreline, like if you stack your gear in it.
"Mr. Aprilia, I present to you the 2021 Tuono!"
"Very well, I thought we agreed on saddle bags?"
" Ooo... right... "
Another really fun daily ride review. I loved seeing your internal struggle in determining where that bike was going to land on the leaderboard, gave me quite a chuckle!
Just picked up a 2020 Factory earlier this year and love it! Glad theyre making the RR a little more different for this year
These daily rider videos with Zack are just awesome :)
Disconnect the butterfly valve flap servo cables and the restrictions in 1st and 2nd gear are gone..I am amazed at how good the exhaust sounds with occasional cracks and pops with a deep growl. I have never seen a stock exhaust sound so good 👍. Love this bike 👌
Just had my 22 Tuono V4 Factory ultra dark delivered yesterday. Bike is awesome! Thanks for the viddy
I really look forward to this and HS/LS !! Keep on making this stuff, we need more of this !!
I don't think I've ever seen you have as much fun on a Daily Rider before :). Tuono has me giggling every time I ride too
Love to start my weekend with a Daily Rider. Great review as always.
Truly the best way to start a weekend with Zack man popping wheelies 👍👍👍🤣🤣🤣
For cruise control resume can be used. With the system on and the mile per hour blinking press and hold up words on the cruise control joystick for more than one second. This will resume your last speed.
The Tuono should have gone right to the top of the leaderboard. Those ADV's are great motorcycles but none of them can excite you like a Tuono. And this excitement is why we ride!
24:19
Loved that bit!! Especially Zack's laugh! 😂
I was just about to say "it could never be better than a Versys 1000", but then I thought it looks like a "so much more" version of my old, beloved Yamaha XJ6F (FZ6R/Diversion 600). Just like the XJ6, the Tuono seems like a GREAT bike to ride whenever, wherever, and however you want - obviously with much more power and technology than my old Yamaha. Thanks for another excellent video, Zack!
Another awesome daily rider episode by Zack. I definitely enjoyed this episode great job and look forward for more.
That glorious engine note!!! OMG I love a V4!!
I freaking love these. Great job as always Zack!
powerful amount of anality involved in the alignment and spacing of the leaderboard.
Mighty impressed!
Take this as a compliment from one who has stringlined keyboards, monitors and mice in computer training rooms.
And then there was the alignment of the pens.
And notebooks.
A special kind of agony/ecstasy,
aaaaahhhhh...
To anyone researching this bike. Considering getting a 'Gabro map' via 'Up map T800' and instantly solve any ECU related issues with this bike. (Smoother throttle, limiters removed in lower gears, a bit more hp/tq, turn signals in the headlight housing instead of the actual signals, ability to flash it back to stock for warranty work, if any. etc etc) I'm told it's the best money you'll spend on the bike...along with an exhaust.
Man your reviews are the coolest thing out here. Keep it up!
Thanks For the great Review. i Currently have a '16 Tuono Factory. I Love that aprilia made a more touring version. been on the fence about upgrading.
maybe 2022
Recently test rode the standard model and really enjoyed it. Leg area was a little more compact than I thought it would be but it wasn't a deal breaker. I didn't like the neutered gearing/power in the early gears but once you open it up past 5k rpm, it's so much fun. I'd swap for the shorter risers and windscreen from the factory but this bike is definitely on my short list.
Been waiting for this gem!! Early morning treat.
The Tuono is one of the best bikes ever made. I ride one :)
I absolutely love the Tuono. I just can't live with Aprilia's rather minimalist dealer network. If they had just one service center in my state, I'd have a Tuono by now.
Yeah I’ve been loving mine. Have about 1300 miles on it. Smiles every ride. I never noticed the bags before in other videos. It almost looks like it was done for balancing.
The exhaust
The Tuono Factory on the edge of the tire is magical.
Liked before even watching it. I know you did an MC commute on the Tuono that was 10-12 minutes long. This was what i wanted all along. Now I dont have a dealership for atleast 6 hours near me. I need to move.
Great vid! Thank you… Good enough to make me go buy one! Can’t wait to pick it up!
I like that the mirrors are mounted on the handle bar. It makes city rides much easier
HE DONE A OFF ROAD JUMP ON THE TUONO!
I was so torn whether to get the factory because of the suspension. Or get the base model because of the higher bar and subframe for bags. The perfect model would be the base with the active suspension.
After I saw him jump with this base model and the suspension handled it. Stuff the factory. Base model it is
Always enjoy your reviews Zach, since I have had a number of Tuono's over the years I have to admit I am bias. It's all about what the riding experience is like for the individual. The MT-07 I tested was fun tons of wheelies but I felt the suspension on the Tuono is superior. Front wheel is so well planted on Tuono and the quick shifter felt like a better mechanism. Again it's all subjective.
Keep the reviews coming.
Would be interested to see a review on the Fanatic Caballero 550 one day
that little baby clutch pull before your wheelies are art
Zack, I cannot wait for you Daily Rider on the 2021 rsv4 (non factory please) review. You are by far the better reviewer out there! Ride safe
I have a 2013 Tuono v4 and I love it soooo much
Great review as always Zach!!!
Having had an old 2012 model, subsequent models up to 2021 model were following the same logic of hypernaked. The new one kind of reminds me of the blend between Tuono and Caponord. Since they do not produce the latter, they made a hybrid model Tuono GT with the windscreen and saddlebags. Maybe just call it Tuononord. :)
My Tuono is so insanely uncomfortable for my girlfriend. A tuononard is exactly what I'm looking for!
Or the Tourono 😉
Haha I loved watching this ride! I am buying a 2021 Tuono V4 tomorrow.
1:52 I think its for weight balance when both sides are loaded. Exhaust+Small saddle bag at full capacity = Big saddle with full capacity
I just love the maniacal laugh as he backs it in around the corner. That's what fun sounds like.
Chrome lower fork legs! Just got them put on my 22 white sand pearl road glide today. What a difference, they freaking pop!!!
Good lord, that sound. 😍😍😍😍
Gratz on the 1m subs!
NIce review Zack, I'm glad to say I have the exact same bike and color.
I like your talking style. I feel like listening watching your videos.
Of course the content is very good quality imo.
Please get ari to wait for you at the jump spot cause we really want to see you catching air on these bikes from a 3rd person view.
I have a 2018 factory in the stables love the tuono fun bike to rip around. But I do like the looks of the 2021 factory
The lights going off when ABS is engaged is cool
I would guess the left being lower is to make it easier to swing your leg over. Smart design
I've test rode a V4 before, and they are a sweet motor.
The front end looks so much better from the cockpit as compared to the previous model .
I had a test ride on a Tuono a couple years ago. Stuck in freeway traffic stop-n-go it overheated to the point it started knocking. On another occasion, after a really good section of road it was the Tuono rider who ran out of gas 5 miles from the planned gas stop. I love the sound, the feel, the power... but no.
Another great review👍🏼 Every time I see you take a big sweeping curve on a freeway interchange and you can’t open it up because of some slow traffic, inside I die just a little bit. Okay not really, but it sure sucks!
9:54 the highway was killing me on these next few seconds. 😵💫
He said the fz07 wheelies better and it made me so happy 🙂
Was really looking forward to this one, It's a really good value which is surprising from a European brand.
If the Tuono inherited the same Piaggio cruise control used on the Moto Guzzi V85 TT then push the switch up for about 2 seconds to resume your saved speed. That took me a weekend to discover on my own.
You may also be able to roll the throttle forward about a half cm to cancel it without braking.
my next bike hands down
What a great episode. And maybe the best soundtrack?
Resume cruise is in the book, I think. It's been awhile, but I think it was 'hold up for 2 seconds' on my 2017. Also, dollars to donuts says that the $700 Race ECU removes low gear limiters, if there are any, which I don't think there are. Base model has a 40 tooth rear sprocket compared to the Factory's 42 tooth. All 16-20 (US) Tuonos had a 42 tooth rear. So that's a bit less thrust, too, but easily fixable.
Nice bike. Thanks for sharing
Right saddle bag is smaller and mounted high up so to make space for the upswept exhaust pipe!
Super fun as always. Hope you get to ride a Super Duke or an SMCR or maybe an MV Agusta Turismo Veloce at some point.
i rode the 2012 tuono for 2.5 years as daily commute, so i think my views are very valid. tuono such is such a beast, best stock sounding bike in the market, bar none, confidence inspiring in every type of situation. but it is a fucking hot bike and not great for city traffic, also drinks petrol like us drinking coffee, overall a great experience but not the best commuter
I live in south florida and just bought a tuono...it definitely is a hot bike.
I’ve started on a 2021 MT07, and did not see it coming that the Tuono got put under it. But! I’d probably swing a leg over my MT more often - reserving the Tuono for more spirited rides on beautiful days where I can afford to break all the right speed limits lol.
I wanna ride one so bad!
Great job Zack - keep it up. I was waiting for this one like many others. I agree with the assessment vs Factory - the only downside is the paint job - although the white is not too bad
Mines Tarmac Grey, looks great in person. I think its stealthy compared to the Factory.
Great daily ride.
What a machine.
For the steering issues is, bear in mind Tuono v4 is derived from supersport RSV4.its not a true naked being build from ground up. So its a RSV4 that being naked. I had the same issues but its all cool when i think back. 😅
Nice review. Easy to tell that you enjoyed this one. I would choose the version with the bags, except those bags are not worth it. Might as well go for te Factory!
Or better yet, Aprilia, stuff this V41100 into a classic, full faired sport tourer, call it the Futura, and take my money!
I bought the Tarmac Grey 2021 instead of the Factory from your review - thanks
Last time I owned a Tuono Factory I got he biggest speeding ticket, 1 mph away from getting arrested and put in jail with the booty warrior. I had to hire a Better call Saul lawyer and he amazingly got the ticket reduced to a faulty tail light. 😁 So I switched from a fast liter bike to torque and wheelies on a 450 supermoto and couldn't be happier.
Pretty standard awesomeness review as usual Mr Courts! But where can I find Ari's review at the lauch? Quick UA-cam search didn't reveal it!
The dash changing from day to night mode as he goes under bridges looks cool. Could never afford one, but sweet ride nonetheless
I'm hoping to see a DR for the Harley PanAm soon. Since upright sport and ADV touring bikes rank so highly in these tests, I'm curious Zack's take on the PanAm versus the GS, Multistrada, and others.
As someone that dreams of a Tuono V4 the previous gen than this is the one to get, noted. :p
Restricting power without the option to turn it off is indeed really disappointing. The aftermarket will probably solve this in due time with ECU tuning and we might see the true power in those first scary gears, haha
I had a 2007 Tuono(V2) and loved it!
I’ve got a 2009 and can’t stop wheeling it
I was waiting for that bike
thanks
love the end
I slept on it and wondering if the lower bag on the left side allows you to mount/dismount easier?? Love this daily ride segment, I love your wit and personality Zack, I do believe you are the top of my leader board just tipping out Mr Yamm... Much love and Respect from AU..
One of the best Tuono reviews. I want 1. Triple
Happy to see this video. I have always loved the Tuono. I'm curious if you flash the ECU, if it'd bring back the 1st / 2nd life.
i got the bike in early august. i tried to get race ECU recently from dealer and shell out hard cold cash. they do not have a map for it yet. dealership says they are waiting on update from aprilia. also i failed to find any 3rd market flash services or race ECUs and maps for it. still waiting. but bike is the beast. can't beat it for the buck.
Great video! I would love to see an MV Agusta on here. Dragster RR
I'm sold. Thanks, Zack!
Thanks for posting. Looks like the group in charge of designing the saddle back's location had several too many glasses of wine during lunch that day. :)
Tour bike? Of course. I've been touring my 07 T Factory for years. It's been my favorite bike to tour on since my Futura.
I have owned 4 tounos and I disagree with you. It is an absolut amasing machine. It works perfect om twisty roads and is absolutly amasing on a track. It works fine om daytrips to.
What an absurdly good sounding engine.
I wish they put that glacier white paint on more bikes 😍
A friend of mine has this bike. The gas mileage gets MUCH better after the 1st service ...and later
